Preview questions (no answers)
- 1.
Look at the graph of . If the codomain is , is the function onto?
A.No, because it never reaches 0.
B.Yes, because every positive real number is an image of some .
C.No, because it only increases.
D.Yes, because it is one-to-one.
- 2.
The diagram shows a function . If is one-to-one and onto, what is this type of function called?
A.Injective
B.Surjective
C.Bijective
D.Composite
- 3.
Which of the following describes the function for ?
A.One-to-one
B.Onto
C.Neither one-to-one nor onto
D.Bijective
- 4.
For a function as shown, is it possible for the function to be one-to-one?
A.Yes, if every element in the domain has an image.
B.No, because the number of elements in the domain is greater than the codomain (Pigeonhole Principle).
C.Yes, if the function is onto.
D.No, because the codomain is smaller than the range.
- 5.

A.One-to-one
B.Onto
C.Bijective
D.Constant
- 6.
Consider given by . Is the function onto ?
A.Yes, because it is an increasing function.
B.No, because the range is , so negative numbers and zero are not images.
C.Yes, because the domain is all real numbers.
D.No, because it is not one-to-one.
- 7.
